13. Butterfly Evolution?

There is no evidence in the fossil record. Fossils show no hint of butterfly evolution.

The earliest butterfly fossils, purportedly 200 million years old, are butterfly wings and scales like those of butterflies today.

Evolutionary biologist and butterfly scientist Phil Schappert says,

“Much of the evolutionary history of the butterfly is sheer speculation anchored by inferences made from infrequent observations of other insects in the fossil record.”
(Phil Schappert, A World for Butterflies: Their Lives, Behavior, and Future, 2000, p. 50. Emphasis added.)

Monarch navigation and metamorphosis are deep mysteries. Man cannot design navigational equipment with the same degree of miniaturization and accuracy.

Is it reasonable to think such a marvel could have evolved? Monarchs are compelling evidence of the Creator’s handiwork.
